  Hi

  I logged out of wordpress and visited my site the next day. Somehow the order of pages had changed, I didnt think that was possible if I hadnt changed anything. I used to have an events page on my navigation with a drop down that included four dates in September. Now my Events page has disappeared and the four date pages are on the navigation bar!

  Help! I dont know how this happened.

  Thank you

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  How many Admins does the blog have? Only one is recommended.

  Please consult your theme description page at this link https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sela/ and scroll down to Menus.

  Please read https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ and also read this entry so you are clear on the differences

  re: changing the order of Pages, not Posts

  There are two approaches.
  1. If you have only pages in your horizontal menu and that’ is all you want in it see here to use numerical order. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#order
  See also https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/#parent

  2. Creating a Custom Menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#creating-a-custom-menu
  Adding Pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-pages
  Changing the Order & Creating Sub-Menus http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#changing-the-order-creating-sub-menus

  Custom menu Troubleshooting – My pages are in the wrong order
  Check the sub-pages themselves to see if you have established a Parent page and child page “hierarchical structure” in the page attributes module. Remove if required.

  Also remove any “order” numbers you have assigned that may conflict with the order you are creating by dropping and dragging. Or simply change them so they are the same order as you establish in the menu. Establish consistency – problem solved.

  Note this on your Menu page http://noirwich.co.uk/wp-admin/nav-menus.php at the bottom right hand corner and disable it if required:
  Menu Settings

  Auto add pages
  __ Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu

  Then be sure to click “save menu”.
